    H-1 heater questions

    12 for 12 now! The new AC ignitor transformer really seems to have done the trick.

    H-1 heater questions

    Now that it is cold again I'm fiddling with the heater once more. The parts that fixed the ignitor lasted for about 2 starts, leaving me to guess that the transformer must be bad. I checked the electronics with a scope and had a nice big 150Volt spike feeding into the transformer, but it...

    H-1 heater questions

    I finally got the parts to fix the ignition coil (after getting a quote from Dyna-Curtis for $450 each!!) I pulled the end cap off and found the circuit board completely embedded in some nasty rubber that was a bit of a pain to get picked out. I eventually had to do both sides which made the...

    H-1 heater questions

    I thought I should get back to this thread as I've gotten the heater to run pretty consistently now. The bleeding was pretty easy, tho I must have an air leak somewhere as it needs to be re-bled pretty much every time I run it after it sits for a week. To bleed I pull the air-diverter cover...

    H-1 heater questions

    I just picked up this Model H-1 heater nsn: 4520-01-135-2770 and was wondering if anybody could point me towards a tech order or some such. It ran fine when I inspected it, tho it was hard to start. I also ran it for several hours the same day when I got it home (still hard to start). I'm...
